I've told my wife this many times that thought the internet has pushed through huge technological advances it's had a rotting effect on our social fabric. Now, it gives voice to the extremes to find bandwaggoners, it allows ordinary people to post crap without considering the consequences. My father-in-law (married to a Filipino, his best friend lives in UAE and part of the Syrian ruling class) now re-shares anti-muslim rhetoric on Facebook. Everyone has lost their "filter" that was obvious were the person sitting right in front of you.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-...sian-pilot-calls-russia-friend-restores-ties- I'm not sure the above is related to Brexit, but it may be. Could Erdogan be hedging his bets that the EU is likely to implode before Russia does? Or is he trying to leverage/extort concessions from Merkel by sucking up to Russia months after intentionally shooting down a Russian jet?
On our FX call this morning, my colleagues (esp my boss who didn't know what Alexander Hailton did), were asking about a second referendum. The narrative by the FX desk was there was some validity to that, because after all it was "close" 52% to 48%. Hmmm...did people think the 2012 Presidential Election (51% to 47%) was close?
hmmm......I can point out exactly what you state Does your father-in-law also share facts about Islam?

Deez, you have a knack for picking the one article out of 100 that is the most negative towards Trump while ignoring the other 99. Just today, there are 3 or so articles linking Trump and Brexit (in one fashion or another).
Of course. I understand why some make the case on the superficial level. If nobody did, then there'd be no point in French writing the article. Also, you do understand that most of the articles linking Brexit to Trump doing so to discredit Brexit, right?
Brits got out in nick of time as globalists' evil plans for world domination are forced into the public prematurely
I saw this earlier today. If they actually go forward with this, then the EU is even more delusional than I thought. It might truly spell the end for them. And it might make Marine Le Pen (or her smokin' hot niece) the next President of France.
Apparently the only ones you read. Also, is it not surprising that the establishment writers are going to write unfavorable articles. Finally, did you hear the Goldwater joke? It goes like this. " I didn't vote for Goldwater cause I don't want unlimited war in Asia and social unrest at home. "
She's not even trying, and she's still beautiful. If she actually tried, she could be the hottest girl on the Pom Squad. She's also extremely intelligent and a capable debater.
That's good, because you wouldn't want to know her affiliation. Lol. In all seriousness, she's in the Front National, which is the main right wing nationalist party in France - similar to Fraucke's Alternative für Deutschland party but probably even more confrontational.
This must have been fun to be a participant in the meeting. The Leave campaign isn't starting off well already backing off campaign promises. Think they will be putting that 350M pounds into NHS? Think again. The Leave campaign removed all their campaign promises from their site.
Deez, Great article linking Trump and Brexit. http://www.theweek.com/articles/632380/how-brexit-shattered-progressives-dearest-illusions It is this faith in the inevitability of progressive triumph that has led so many commentators to respond so intensely to the rise of Donald Trump. I don't mean reactions that focus on Trump's personal, temperamental shortcomings. Those are real and worthy of serious concern. I mean reactions that take the form of moral indignation and outrage — as if the very fact that millions of voters have cast ballots for a candidate who strongly opposes immigration and free trade is some kind of moral and theological betrayal, or an offense against capital-H History itself.
See article I just posted. It is NOT superficial, just the opposite. Do you just post BS thinking it will stick? Don't get me wrong, I have no strong animosity towards your positions, but your argument style is mostly BS. You make strong comments that are easily disproved.
